The FMF has announced that any domestic player who fails to report to the High‑Performance Centre in Mexico City by 8pm on 7 May will be excluded from the World Cup squad. The camp, starting 6 May, falls outside FIFA’s international window and conflicts with Liga MX playoffs and Concacaf Champions Cup fixtures. 12 of the 20 selected players are already guaranteed a place in the squad, but the federation is warning the rest that attendance is mandatory. Mexico will announce its final squad on 1 June and begin tournament play on 11 June. catcross.biz
